Bremerton WA has alll three of the halftracks one each and the pak 40. Nothing else new

Major score! All four new ones just put on the shelf and bam in my cart!

And at another walmart, I bought another Pak 40... you never have enough cannons.

Ok so what's next?

Yet another jackpot at a Florida store? WM really doesn't like Central Florida.

They're really starting to hit the shelves now.

I found three halftracks( M16, Engineersand Stuka) and the Pak 40 at the Blue Springs Mo. Walmart east of Kansas City. Does anyone know how the 251/22 is being shipped, by itself or does it replace one of the other items in the box of four?

I opened my Stuka Zu Fuss tonight and it is a GREAT piece!!! Although I have to say that it was probably the most complicated vehicle I have ever had to get out of the packaging, but 30 minutes later, she's out and she's a beaut!!!!!!

Nice job with the Pak 40 flpickupman! I'm really liking the look of that Panzerbuchse AT gun and shield. This version has certainly grown on me.
Btw, don't know if anybody noticed the inspiration for this scheme

You are right, digger. From what is this picture? A model kit box?

Yup, that's the box for the Dragon 1/35 kit I believe.

Found Pak-40 Both of the new German Halftracks and the New American
Quad 50s Half track in a WM in Snellville, Ga. But don't bother going because now they are in my home.

I would think the 4 new ones come in 1 box together. I think in a few months these will be sitting like the jeeps and humvees. I remember running around to get these as well, now collecting dust.

I really like the stukas' paint scheme.

One bit of cost cutting I noticed was the original #13 from 2001 had slits and a piece of clear plastic for the vision ports. The new ones are molded solid

At least the numbers are different!

It's interesting from reading all the posts that when these 4 new items are found they are all being bought with nothing left behind. I guess they're like a set. Gotta have them all!

I went to a few local WMs today. The spaces XD stuff occupied on the shelf are now full of 32x vehicles and aircraft. Each store has tons of them. On the other hand there are just a few XD figures that have been there for weeks or months. They even moved the dusty Luftwaffe F-104s and RC M113s and PZIVs to another aisle. I have a bad feeling that my area WMs are phasing out XD completly, they just don't get any new stock in. Maybe 32x is more profitable, I don't know.

I had the skus printed out but nobody could take the time to help me, I got passed around to a supervisor who told me without even trying that they weren't compatible with her system (lol) and she had to go to a meeting. I waved at her when I saw her in another aisle five minutes later.

Long time lurker first time poster. I picked up the Pak 40, M16, and the Pioneerwagen, last night at the WM in Brooksville/Spring Hill, FL. When I left there were 2 Stukas and a Pak 40 left on the shelf.

Fitzystigertank · Post by **Fitzystigertank** » Tue Nov 07, 2006 4:24 pm

I've gone to 2 WM already and one said they will not get any in and the other said that they are not on file. looks like i'm going to have to go up North again.

I was fooling around with the halftrack and the 75mm ammo crates for the PaK last night, and stumbled across a good way of arranging the crates when towing the PaK.

One of the nice things about the arrangement is that you can still open the crates when stored in this manner.

immeww2 · Post by **immeww2** » Wed Nov 08, 2006 8:13 am

Looks like a perfect fit. Thanks for sharing.

I live in Northern MAss and south NH. To get an avenger I had to drive to Concord NH.

You are welcome. A point of note; you want to place the crate behind the seats before placing the other two in the troop compartment. If you try it the other way around, the last crate won't fit behind the seats.

This afternoon I visited a sixth area WM with no success. The woman working toys said she doubts anything new will come in. I do to, they still had Sahara and S1 BoB figures on the pegs!

Since the stores within of twenty miles of me get little if any XD its looking like I'm going to have to pay a lot more than retail at one of online shops if I want these toys. Cheapest I've seen em is $37 a piece before shipping at The Motorpool. Anyone know of any cheaper?

Hate to tell you guys this, but the Fairbanks WM has two complete sets of the the pak and halftracks in the shelfs. I wouldn't have expected these for two years here.

Post by **aferguson** » Wed Nov 08, 2006 4:38 pm

Fairbanks? Alaska?
